Mcleod Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Not sure if these 2 are related or not but only seem to have encountered them since latest beta version. 1. Not found any Mad Science labs/outposts at all (searched well over 100 sectors in right range), since I destroyed my 3rd one. 2. Been getting probably 2 out of 5 yellow blip sectors that are totally empty, not even a single asteroid or wreck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghadmar Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Same on our world, lack of mad scientist probes since last patch along with increased empty sectors that show mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motorbit Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 im having a simmilar problem. i try to find satelites for a long time now, without luck. what system where you able to make a sattelite spawn? was it an empty system, or did it have asteroids? will it be shown by the item finder? im realy getting frustrated with these quests. without reading up on the wiki how they are supposed to work i was completely lost. i feel the game itself does a poor job in telling me what i am supposed to do.

System with asteroids yes -6/202 I think. It does not show with the item finder. And no the game doesn't really give enought "story" background or lore to help.

artforz Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 There seems to be a (beta only?) bug, added a command that lets me trigger respawnresearchsatellite at will, and I can watch the sat spawn in, then despawn about 10 seconds later. Adding DeletionTimer(satellite.index):disable() to the end of the Scientist.createSatellite function appears to fix it. Though no idea what else that'd might break, so experiment at your own risk. Guess they're somehow considered wreckages and given a stupidly short despawn timer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxelware Team koonschi Posted March 1, 2017 Boxelware Team Share Posted March 1, 2017 Please post the server logs of the sessions when that happens. Best would be to start a session, try to provoke the lab, and when it doesn't work after 5 tries post the logs. Same for the hidden mass signature sectors. Oh and make sure with TAB that they're actually empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedamngod Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Merged and moved topics about the MAD satellites. I have quoted koonschi's reply below, to bump it again. Please post the server logs of the sessions when that happens. Best would be to start a session, try to provoke the lab, and when it doesn't work after 5 tries post the logs.

Dezgard Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Ok so now i'm looking for the 8 stations to the core jumped to many mass signals and nothing...some of them are empty completely i suspect something is afoot! The yellow dot's next to the wall that blocks the core. Dezgards_Log_from_server.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artforz Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Seems that's the same issue, again. Jump to a non-generated sector I *know* is sectors/teleporter (added print x/y/generationTemplate to sectorspecifics), and ... absolutely empty sector. Try another one. Again completely empty. Slap a DeletionTimer(entity.index):disable() into the loop in teleporter.lua SectorTemplate.generate jump to another one and ... hey look, there's the 8 teleporter roid stations. For fun, change that to if i%2==0 then DeletionTimer(entity.index):disable() end jump to another one and ... 4 teleporter stations (II,IV,VI and VIII). It's like everything spawned via Sector():createEntity(...) ends up with a 10 sec despawn timer. ... or not. Playing around with it some more, creating them without a WreckageCreator component seems to also prevent them from insta-despawning?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxelware Team koonschi Posted March 2, 2017 Boxelware Team Share Posted March 2, 2017 I investigated it and I can confirm this is a bug. I'm fixing it right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagisD Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Oh thank the heavens! I cheated my drop for this because I gave up trying to find them! Lol Can I ask How ? My seed has the same problem and I'm stuck either outside the core or cheaty way in with a gate skipping the wall. I wanted to go in right this time but no mad scientist spawning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
